Then again with Asians you can never tell! For all you know the reason she runs fast as a freshman is because her parents force her to run (something that is more likely with Asian parents always pushing their kids too hard) and she's headed down a painful road of burn out.
In my experience (I live in a Chinese neighborhood), the parents will push the kids in a sport only if it is an expensive sport. So they push in Tennis, Swimming, Gymnastics, Skating. But if they don't pay for it (running), it doesn't interest them.
